GROG—BISHOP BARNABY.

Reading edition

Mr. Editor,—I hope you intend to keep a corner for Etymologies.

Query, the origin of the word "Grog?"—And why do the people in Suffolk call a ladybird "Bishop Barnaby?"

If you can enlighten me upon either of these points, I shall feel encouraged to try again.

Yours, &c.

LEGOUR.
